Create border edges on your favorite digital images very quickly using Adobe Photoshop.
Open your favorite image in Photoshop. I am going to use an image of a dock at sunset for this example.
From the top to the bottom image in just minutes! ![]()
Next, we need to select the Channel tab (Windows -> Channels) and add a new channel called alpha 1
Select the Alpha 1 channel and your image will turn black. We will now be using the Marquee tool (M) and draw a rectangle that is smaller than our image
We need to select the inverse of this shape for our frame (Select -> Inverse) and then fill our selection (Edit -> Fill) with white
Next we need to select our favorite filter to add our edge to the image. I selected a sprayed stroke (Filter -> Brush Stroke -> Sprayed Stokes) and modify the settings to your liking.
Next we need to select the RGB channel and load our selection (Select -> Load Selection) be sure to select the Alpha 1 in the channel choice.
Next we will be filling our selection to the image (Edit -> Fill) and select the background color.
Once your image has your frame added, deselect your section (Select -> Deselect) and you are finished!
Experiment with other filter effects to your favorite images and have fun



















Nice tip…This is something I use every once in a while, but end up forgetting the technique when I need it again…Bookmarked…Thanks
